A black security guard has been shot and killed by police just moments after stopping a drunken customer who had opened fire at a bar in Illinois.

The incident, in Robbins, Illinois, occurred at roughly 4 am on Sunday, after a security guard told drunken men to leave the premises. Witnesses said that someone then returned to the bar with a gun and begun shooting — leading security to return fire.

Before police arrived, 26-year-old security guard Jemel Roberson was able to apprehend one of the men outside of the bar, according to witnesses. An officer responding to a call about the gunshots then arrived and shot Roberson, killing him.

this is truly sad........if it proves all true

(Everybody was screaming out, ‘He was a security guard,’” Mr Harris said. “And they basically saw a black man with a gun and killed him”. )

Sad story. I bet he wasn't wearing a uniform. Every armed security guard should wear a uniform so the cops can see right away that they are security personnel. Those t-shirts that just say SECURITY on the back aren't any good from the front. They need to have collared, buttoned shirts with those flaps on the shoulders, slacks, badges and patches on the arms... But in the end, this was a clear case of a cop not properly identifying his target before shooting.
